- 2:15Speaker 2: Can somebody just put some olive.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Oil on the screen, like I look a bit crispy,
- 2:19Speaker 3: But yeah, I keep my lips very wet and moist

- 2:34Speaker 2: He's still hot.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Although you're looking like you're not a daddy now, you
- 2:37Speaker 1: look like.
- 2:38Speaker 2: A zazzy uncle Ben. There you go, Uncle Bey that Joe.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I mean you you call yourself the god of radio, right,
- 2:48Speaker 1: But I mean I want to ask you when your
- 2:52Speaker 1: dad said, you guys are coming back to South Africa.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Surely you know you.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Want to be a broadcaster and you know that staying
- 2:58Speaker 1: in America.
- 2:59Speaker 2: The market's match bigger as much.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Bigger there, right, Because I always say, if we were
- 3:04Speaker 1: doing what we're doing in America.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Would be like you'd be getting like twenty million dollars
- 3:09Speaker 3: a year. Yeah, I know exactly, which for those who
- 3:11Speaker 3: don't know, it's four hundred million rand.
- 3:13Speaker 2: A year, Yeah, exactly.
- 3:14Speaker 1: So do you ever regret coming back to South Africa?
- 3:16Speaker 2: No, I was.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I firstly, I thought I was going to be an engineer.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I never thought I was going.
- 3:21Speaker 2: To be in radio. I always thought I was going
- 3:23Speaker 2: to be an engineer.
- 3:24Speaker 3: By Monday to Friday, and then on weekends I would DJ,
- 3:27Speaker 3: like in clubs. Yeah, and so my DJing and they
- 3:31Speaker 3: got me on the radio and I dropped out of
- 3:33Speaker 3: UCT and I came back to South Africa because my
- 3:36Speaker 3: dad was like, listen, it's time, like we've got this
- 3:39Speaker 3: opportunity to participate in the rebuilding of something important. Do
- 3:43Speaker 3: you want to just be here and selfish or do
- 3:45Speaker 3: you want to go back home and like have a contribution.
- 3:47Speaker 3: So we all came back. Now here's the funny part.
- 3:50Speaker 3: My entire family's back in the States. My brother, my
- 3:53Speaker 3: sister lived, they are my mom, they're Americans. I'm the
- 3:56Speaker 3: only one here holding it down.
- 3:59Speaker 2: He's the real struggle hero. So I'm here because I
- 4:02Speaker 2: love South Africa. I love our history.
- 4:04Speaker 3: I love the opportunity we've been given and everything I
- 4:08Speaker 3: do is from there.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Do you still have those aspirations then of being an
- 4:13Speaker 1: international broadcast.
- 4:14Speaker 3: I never wanted to be a superstar. I don't want
- 4:16Speaker 3: to be a superstar. I just love this game. I
- 4:19Speaker 3: love the game. That's why I'm like an anti like.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I don't like the fandom side of it. I don't
- 4:24Speaker 3: try to be social media. I'm not chasing followers. I
- 4:28Speaker 3: love the craft. I love what this is. I love communication.
- 4:31Speaker 3: I love the interaction with people. I love hearing what
- 4:34Speaker 3: people have to say back to us about their lives
- 4:37Speaker 3: and what's going on. And that's what gets me excited.
- 4:40Speaker 1: But you don't have to be famous to do that,
- 4:41Speaker 1: but you can still have the major platform to do it.
- 4:44Speaker 2: So here's what happened. I didn't know it was going
- 4:46Speaker 2: to be on a big radio station ever.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I just thought that I was going to just do
- 4:49Speaker 3: some cool stuff on the side. Being on a big
- 4:52Speaker 3: platform was by accident, and it was because I enjoyed
- 4:55Speaker 3: what I was doing and I always sacrifice solo. For instance,
- 4:58Speaker 3: how we did the Fatuo Live TV show, it was
- 5:00Speaker 3: they would give me like a salary. Let's say at
- 5:02Speaker 3: the time, I was getting thirty thousand a month or whatever.
- 5:05Speaker 3: I would take that thirty thousand, chop it up into
- 5:07Speaker 3: five people and bring them on board so that we
- 5:10Speaker 3: could do really creative good.
- 5:12Speaker 2: And that's what I was interested in.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Even at YFM, I think we were the first black
- 5:16Speaker 3: radio show to have a producer.
- 5:17Speaker 2: How did that happen?
- 5:18Speaker 3: I took my salary, I hired Carlito, I brought Yeah,
- 5:23Speaker 3: Carlito was my producer. He ended up working for Bob and.
- 5:26Speaker 1: He ended up being my boss at five of them.
- 5:29Speaker 2: There you go.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Yeah, Nick Register, who was working with Smooth and Glenn Louis. Yeah,
- 5:38Speaker 3: there's another lady who's now the head of a what
- 5:42Speaker 3: is it sesame street Africa Middle East. She was my
- 5:45Speaker 3: line producer and became my director. So like there's a
- 5:47Speaker 3: whole squad. Giso, David Dudda man. Like the list is
- 5:51Speaker 3: so endless. So my thing was open doors, do cool
- 5:53Speaker 3: stuff and then just watch what happens.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So what's currently happening? Because I mean that's me. There
- 5:59Speaker 1: is not a station you have not.
- 6:00Speaker 4: Worked at, No, No, right, and the intro we mentioned who.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Did you mention two thousand?
- 6:11Speaker 1: There's a Cape Town station you're working at as well.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I mean it's endless. Yeah. Wait, way too.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Next, which which radio station is?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Did k f M call you to do breakfast? They did?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Actually they did, they did like in December, back in
- 6:27Speaker 2: December and then December.
- 6:29Speaker 3: I was like, what do you mean. Yeah, no, I
- 6:32Speaker 3: just I didn't pursue it. And I think they never
- 6:34Speaker 3: called back or whatever. But you know, I think I
- 6:35Speaker 3: come for some people. I come at a cost. So
- 6:38Speaker 3: what is the cost?
- 6:39Speaker 2: So I'll give you an example.
- 6:40Speaker 3: East Coast will like, come to the station, we need
- 6:42Speaker 3: somebody disruptive that. I was like, are you sure I
- 6:44Speaker 3: can bring the tone down? They said no, we want
- 6:46Speaker 3: the Wow Joe. I was like, are you sure? They
- 6:48Speaker 3: said yes. I said, are you sure? First week we
- 6:51Speaker 3: had a protest outside. Just shut down the station. The
- 6:55Speaker 3: MD came rushing. You couldn't call into the station. The
- 6:58Speaker 3: MD came running to the studio and said, chaill this promotion.
- 7:01Speaker 3: And that was the beginning of like the temperate So
- 7:04Speaker 3: I always run into that and people don't understand where
- 7:06Speaker 3: I'm coming from. So when you get even when I
- 7:09Speaker 3: went at you on the air, here's what you don't realize.
- 7:12Speaker 3: And I tried to explain this to you after the fact.
- 7:15Speaker 3: You guys are sitting on the biggest platform in radio.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I'm on two thousand at the time, where six hundred
- 7:21Speaker 3: thousand nobody's listening to me. I'm like, how can I
- 7:24Speaker 3: get people? There's no marketing budget. How do I get
- 7:26Speaker 3: people to know that I'm on? One night, this idea
- 7:29Speaker 3: comes up and I just I said, I'm going after that.
- 7:32Speaker 3: She's the big dog on the hill, She's the big
- 7:34Speaker 3: gangster who runs the block. I have to go shoot
- 7:36Speaker 3: up her block and take some of her corners.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And that's what I did.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Spray your mama's house. Let you come find me.
- 7:41Speaker 2: What are two thousands listeners? Like? Now two thousand is
- 7:44Speaker 2: sitting on like what three million? That was the thing,
- 7:48Speaker 2: that was the purpose.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Okay, So so I changed.
- 7:51Speaker 2: On your back? You did? I chum on your back
- 7:54Speaker 2: and I wasn't shy about it.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Yeah, before you get fired?
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 7:59Speaker 1: Can you always see that that's where it's going or
- 8:01Speaker 1: do they spring.
- 8:01Speaker 2: It on you? I never get married to where I'm at.
- 8:03Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are stuck in trying
- 8:04Speaker 3: to hang on and hold on like, oh my god,
- 8:06Speaker 3: this is you know, this is my livelihood.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I don't care, But do you ever know it's your
- 8:09Speaker 2: last day? Like at the end of the last I
- 8:11Speaker 2: think that was our last one.
- 8:12Speaker 3: No, I don't, because a lot of times people think
- 8:15Speaker 3: I got fired when I didn't. I actually left. There's
- 8:17Speaker 3: a lot of places that I left, and then there's
- 8:21Speaker 3: places where the contract just expired.
- 8:22Speaker 2: And we didn't renew.
- 8:24Speaker 3: And then the only place I was given a letter
- 8:27Speaker 3: of dismissing me was KIFM.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Shout out to Greg Greg my look, I shout out
- 8:31Speaker 2: to him, Actually, you're dismissed.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Why fam I left? First time Metro I left. I've
- 8:36Speaker 3: been in Metro like two three times, two thousand contract ended,
- 8:41Speaker 3: Hart FM contract ended.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It was a three it was a three year contract.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Why do you leave? So when you say, I mean, look,
- 8:47Speaker 2: you get the dismissal litter what what? What? That makes
- 8:49Speaker 2: sense to me?
- 8:49Speaker 3: But atmosphere is that can't be creative and I don't
- 8:53Speaker 3: want to be the guy who.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Just reads live reads and does competitions.
- 8:56Speaker 4: So is it if it's management getting too stifling and
- 8:59Speaker 4: they don't see your visions that say, it's not.
- 9:01Speaker 3: About my vision, it's really about like what the audience deserves.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I don't think audiences, but what if we.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Put money into it as a business and we do
- 9:08Speaker 1: the research and we actually know what the audience deserves.
- 9:11Speaker 2: You know, research doesn't work.
- 9:12Speaker 3: It's like you know, your best friend Trevor, like, can
- 9:14Speaker 3: you imagine doing research for comedy.
- 9:16Speaker 2: No, it's trial and error.
- 9:17Speaker 3: The game is trial and error, and then you get
- 9:20Speaker 3: better at the trial and error as you go.
- 9:22Speaker 2: That's what I think.
- 9:23Speaker 1: But then you can appreciate that some companies don't have
- 9:26Speaker 1: the luxury of you trialing an error and it.
- 9:29Speaker 3: I think a lot of it unfortunately, And we need
- 9:31Speaker 3: to own more of these big media companies. A lot
- 9:33Speaker 3: of people who've been on air or on screen don't
- 9:37Speaker 3: own the platforms.
- 9:38Speaker 2: So there's a disconnect.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Management thinks like professional Frankie always says, the people who
- 9:43Speaker 1: end up in management on actually the people who know
- 9:46Speaker 1: what it's like in the trenches, because they'd run the
- 9:48Speaker 1: management a little bit different.
- 9:49Speaker 3: And because what you do is so like Las Fair,
- 9:51Speaker 3: you're like the dumb person in the building, whereas you
- 9:53Speaker 3: probably the smartest person in the building, and they're treated
- 9:56Speaker 3: as the smartest people in the building. So I find
- 9:58Speaker 3: that talent, especially good talent, is not respected, and for
- 10:02Speaker 3: the most part, is disrespected and disregarded, and and you know,
- 10:06Speaker 3: you know what I and I said this to an
- 10:07Speaker 3: Ellie plenty what you find and I think, I mean
- 10:10Speaker 3: is a great example of this because I think if
- 10:12Speaker 3: you listen to radio now, and I said, what's wrong
- 10:14Speaker 3: with radio?
- 10:15Speaker 4: Because I have this conversation with a whole bunch of
- 10:17Speaker 4: my friends all the time. You could list endlessly. But
- 10:19Speaker 4: most of it's because that creativity that you're talking about
- 10:23Speaker 4: isn't encouraged. You know, it is encouraged to like be wild,
- 10:26Speaker 4: go wild, try something new all the time. It's sort
- 10:28Speaker 4: of like sticking them all, sticking them all.
- 10:30Speaker 3: You guys are probably students of the game, and there's
- 10:32Speaker 3: this misunderstanding that as long as you have a following,
- 10:35Speaker 3: you can be on aired.
- 10:35Speaker 2: It doesn't work like that. Yeah, this is this is
- 10:38Speaker 2: a crafty, real craft on the way.
- 10:41Speaker 1: We'll see if we can stick to the interview we've
- 10:42Speaker 1: prepped with him.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I'll throw you off, guys, I will throw you off.
- 10:46Speaker 2: We started with the first question. There's twenty five and
- 10:48Speaker 2: we we've gone to they've asked one question.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Yeah, but what is nice is that this is quite engaged.
- 10:54Speaker 1: This is a lot of fun fatos in the house.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And the reason he is here is because of the
- 10:58Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup. Sleeper Sport is bringing a brand new
- 11:01Speaker 1: property to make sure that you are a informed, entertained
- 11:04Speaker 1: and up to speed with everything that is happening in Mexico.
- 11:07Speaker 1: They are literally being merco to hear and the the
- 11:11Speaker 1: person carrying the bigger sombrero.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Okay, and there we go.
- 11:16Speaker 1: In the Fat Joe he is leading all of it.
- 11:18Speaker 1: To find out more about that on the way right
- 11:20Speaker 1: here with and then in the clubs pick with us.
- 11:22Speaker 1: The show is called the Morning Cup from Supersports. That's
- 11:25Speaker 1: what they're gonna be doing for you for the entire
- 11:28Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup. The host Fat Joe, he's got a
- 11:31Speaker 1: call host Sarah. She's from Kenya. We're gonna chat to
- 11:33Speaker 1: her right before we say goodbye. We need to find
- 11:35Speaker 1: out exactly what it is we can expect on.
- 11:38Speaker 2: This morning show.
- 11:39Speaker 1: But before we get there, we need to reminisce with
- 11:41Speaker 1: Fat Joe.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Guys, dude, let's got our memory lane. Here we go.
- 11:46Speaker 1: You say you are responsible for ninety five percent of
- 11:49Speaker 1: the people who failed at Ucity in nineteen ninety six
- 11:53Speaker 1: because you threw the best parties.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to my man Taple.
- 11:57Speaker 3: We threw some crazy like literally from freshers week, we
- 12:01Speaker 3: threw like three four parties that set the tone. As
- 12:04Speaker 3: a matter of fact, at the end of that year,
- 12:06Speaker 3: mam Pella Rampella was the dean or vice vice what
- 12:09Speaker 3: do they call vice chancellor. Yeah, she changed the rules,
- 12:11Speaker 3: no more parties on campus after us like we a
- 12:13Speaker 3: bunch of people dropped out, didn't get their degrees, disappointed
- 12:17Speaker 3: their families, and are now failures today because of that,
- 12:20Speaker 3: Because of nineteen ninety six, you are the.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Reason we contact ball in the house anymore. Exactly were
- 12:25Speaker 2: you at UCD? Okay?
- 12:27Speaker 1: No, But yesterday we had this conversation on the show around.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Do you think that.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Marks Let's say you write a taste, a cycle, taste,
- 12:34Speaker 1: an exam or whatever should be made publican tass and
- 12:37Speaker 1: the used to do that.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Yet they put your score on the wall. In the States,
- 12:41Speaker 3: that's a no go. I grew up in the States, right,
- 12:43Speaker 3: so when I came here, I was like, this is
- 12:45Speaker 3: an invasion of like what is now Papia or Popya.
- 12:48Speaker 3: I don't know how you said.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I was like, how can.
- 12:51Speaker 3: They do that? Put your name and your score? No,
- 12:53Speaker 3: I think you are against it. I was raised to
- 12:56Speaker 3: be against it. I don't know how I feel. I
- 12:58Speaker 3: don't know if there's any positive that can come from it, because.
- 13:00Speaker 1: That's what franken I was saying. But Cyndi and tbg No,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Cindy and me were on the same side. Timbergillia and
- 13:05Speaker 1: Frankie were saying.
- 13:06Speaker 4: That the shame them, that's how they motivate you into
- 13:09Speaker 4: doing better.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I don't think that's how you teach people to do
- 13:12Speaker 1: better by shaming this.
- 13:13Speaker 3: It's like the metric thing, like you're in the newspaper
- 13:15Speaker 3: forever in a day, like everyone can go back and check.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, it's a fact you failed that year.
- 13:20Speaker 2: You know. It's like that's horrible.
- 13:21Speaker 3: But at least even criminals get their records expunge.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Like right, that's really good. Okay, now that that is settled.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I told you we have a voice, not from somebody
- 13:32Speaker 1: who's worked at you back.
- 13:33Speaker 2: In the day. See you're here.
- 13:35Speaker 5: What can I say about fit Joe? He was that
- 13:38Speaker 5: young crop of that amazing radio institution, black radio institution
- 13:44Speaker 5: Radio POP. I met him of course at YFM as
- 13:48Speaker 5: we started YFM, as these bushy eyed kids who had
- 13:52Speaker 5: a mission or felt that they had a mission to
- 13:55Speaker 5: redefine the voices of young people in this country. And
- 13:58Speaker 5: boy did we do a job of that. We all
- 14:01Speaker 5: very privileged to have been able to do that and
- 14:04Speaker 5: be blessed with that opportunity. And Facho was, unlike many
- 14:07Speaker 5: of us, was the only one with an American background
- 14:11Speaker 5: to radio, to media to television. A lot of his
- 14:15Speaker 5: ideas were found on by traditional South African radio and
- 14:20Speaker 5: in that way, the revolution was for him.
- 14:23Speaker 2: So I appreciate him for that.
- 14:25Speaker 5: He was not narrow minded in terms of what Sarrafkan
- 14:28Speaker 5: Radio was meant to be. He introduced a lot of
- 14:31Speaker 5: things that people do today that people take for granted
- 14:33Speaker 5: because he was willing to experiment and try new things out.
- 14:37Speaker 5: And he did a lot for South African radio, for
- 14:39Speaker 5: Soarrafkan media generally, and I appreciate him for that.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Oh, shout out to Leo Man. This is exactly what
- 14:47Speaker 2: I wanted to ask.
- 14:48Speaker 4: Leos touched on it there right because he talks about
- 14:50Speaker 4: how he perceives what You've left a lot of people
- 14:53Speaker 4: within radio and in careers and are you known for
- 14:56Speaker 4: so many things?
- 14:57Speaker 2: Right?
- 14:57Speaker 4: So there is the controversy, the confidence, the charisma, the
- 15:02Speaker 4: shock jock, that you know all of these sort of
- 15:04Speaker 4: labels attached to you, But what is the legacy that
- 15:06Speaker 4: you are you thinking about that stuff?
- 15:09Speaker 2: Like the legacy? From day one, before I walked in
- 15:11Speaker 2: the door, I knew what the legacy would be. What
- 15:13Speaker 2: is it? Celebrate South Africa, the good, the bad, the
- 15:16Speaker 2: ugly celebrated. That's it. That's it. That's all I do.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Every day in media, if you're even in business, because
- 15:21Speaker 3: a lot of people don't know the stuff that I
- 15:22Speaker 3: do in business. I was telling you before, I have
- 15:24Speaker 3: an engineering background. I like to build things, celebrate essay
- 15:28Speaker 3: in all its glory. So like if I'm making fun
- 15:31Speaker 3: of someone, I'm actually celebrating them because what I'm doing.
- 15:35Speaker 3: It's like people have always said, I'm scared to do
- 15:37Speaker 3: an interview with Joe, but every time people leave my interview,
- 15:41Speaker 3: they're bigger and better for it. Oh and so every
- 15:44Speaker 3: time I make fun of someone and I feel like
- 15:46Speaker 3: they're bigger and better for it, it's almost like my
- 15:49Speaker 3: way of paying homage, even though there's a sinister reason
- 15:52Speaker 3: behind it, but I do it with that level of respect.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying?
- 15:56Speaker 1: Almost like what the roast was meant to be in
- 15:58Speaker 1: exactly how it was done. A bunch of your friends
- 16:01Speaker 1: wegether around the nighttime in New York and they would
- 16:04Speaker 1: just roaster.
- 16:05Speaker 3: You, not to celebrate you, not just that like the
- 16:07Speaker 3: type of people you interview. At the time when I
- 16:10Speaker 3: started doing broadcasting, the Constitution was new, and I was like,
- 16:14Speaker 3: before we lose the power that this constitution has given us,
- 16:17Speaker 3: let me try and like empower everyone that is around me, listeners, viewers,
- 16:22Speaker 3: to start exercising their freedoms. Don't think you're still in
- 16:26Speaker 3: the same old sort of box that you were in before.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Let's go, let's push the boundaries. Let's test this thing.
- 16:31Speaker 2: That's also like I mean it in that sort of
- 16:33Speaker 2: bigger sense as well.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you've kind of, you know, learnt a lot from
- 16:38Speaker 1: bigger broadcasters, right the Larry Kings of the worlds and
- 16:41Speaker 1: the Howard Sterns and all of that. Who do you
- 16:43Speaker 1: watch and see and listen and see the way they're
- 16:46Speaker 1: moving and you think to yourself, you know, I wish
- 16:48Speaker 1: I'd learned more from that person, you mean from back
- 16:51Speaker 1: in the day, or you mean now, back in the day,
- 16:53Speaker 1: right now, just anyone that you wish you'd.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Learn more from I get amazed every day when I
- 16:57Speaker 3: see people around like, I mean, look at like what
- 17:00Speaker 3: Tyler's doing, I look at what Trevor Noah's doing. I
- 17:03Speaker 3: remember meeting Berna Boy at the Metros back in the
- 17:06Speaker 3: day when he was running around with AKA. I'm looking
- 17:09Speaker 3: at what Africa is doing. I'm looking at how social
- 17:11Speaker 3: media has opened the door and how now we all
- 17:14Speaker 3: can be proud of who we are instead of feeling
- 17:16Speaker 3: lesser than I don't know. When we were in varsity,
- 17:18Speaker 3: there was always this thing of international standards, which is
- 17:20Speaker 3: a word I hated. I hated that word international standards.
- 17:23Speaker 3: It's almost like you're looking outward and trying to compete
- 17:26Speaker 3: and compare and live up to whereas we've got so
- 17:28Speaker 3: much here. And that's what I hope my legacy will
- 17:31Speaker 3: be that he contributed to the celebration of South Africa
- 17:33Speaker 3: and Africa.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Yeah, so you you wish you'd learn from.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Tyl no no, no no, you said, Oh, I look
- 17:41Speaker 3: at people like Tyler, Trevor, etc. I'm learning from them
- 17:44Speaker 3: even now because they're they're they're doing things that maybe
- 17:48Speaker 3: I was too hesitant to do, or I was too
- 17:50Speaker 3: scared to do, or I didn't know what possibilities you know,
- 17:53Speaker 3: it's like it's just interesting to watch the world evolve.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So when you operate on a level that you operate
- 17:58Speaker 1: on because you always on a hundred, But what do
- 18:02Speaker 1: you think you could do better? Could you be better
- 18:05Speaker 1: with your finances? Could you be better with your personal relationships?
- 18:08Speaker 1: Could you be better at being a parent? Could you
- 18:10Speaker 1: be better at, you know, being a leader? What do
- 18:12Speaker 1: you think you could be better at something that you wish?
- 18:14Speaker 1: And you know that it's part too late that you
- 18:16Speaker 1: can publish on home that skill.
- 18:18Speaker 3: I think I'm doing all right. Look, I'm on a
- 18:21Speaker 3: elian at the club. I'm like, you know what I'm saying.
- 18:24Speaker 3: There's billboards of me in this building, Like who gets this?
- 18:27Speaker 3: I feel like I get flowers all the time. There
- 18:30Speaker 3: are nurses who save lives. So I feel happy and
- 18:33Speaker 3: privileged in a sort of not in an arrogant sense,
- 18:37Speaker 3: but like I wouldn't change anything. I really wouldn't. There's
- 18:41Speaker 3: nothing I would try and do better. There really isn't.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And on a personal note, I heard you say in
- 18:45Speaker 1: one interview I'm happily married. What does that look like?
- 18:48Speaker 1: What does being happily married look like?
- 18:49Speaker 3: For fat sometimes you fight, you know. Sometimes you fight,
- 18:52Speaker 3: it gets bad, it gets better, you know. No, But
- 18:55Speaker 3: happily married is it's like just having a champion on
- 19:01Speaker 3: your side, a coach, a confidant, someone you can be
- 19:06Speaker 3: h fragile with, you know, someone who I don't know.
- 19:11Speaker 3: But this is just an amazing woman. She's uh, she's
- 19:14Speaker 3: just become my rock, my everything. I don't know. It's
- 19:18Speaker 3: almost like you can't live without them, you know what
- 19:20Speaker 3: I mean. And that's what it's become. And that's what
- 19:22Speaker 3: I feel like. And that's that's what I think happily
- 19:24Speaker 3: married is. And we're just into each other, like forget
- 19:27Speaker 3: the world, it's just me and her. As a matter
- 19:29Speaker 3: of fact, I try not to come outside, you know
- 19:31Speaker 3: what I mean. I stay indoors all the time.
- 19:33Speaker 1: And are you are you this person at home? Are
- 19:36Speaker 1: you this fat Joe where you know you are?
- 19:40Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 19:43Speaker 3: Yeah, there are times when I'm like that. Like it's
- 19:45Speaker 3: not an act me being like this, but it's a
- 19:48Speaker 3: part of me. It's a very serious side of me
- 19:50Speaker 3: as well. And I think people get shocked when they
- 19:52Speaker 3: meet me in a quiet space and they go, oh
- 19:54Speaker 3: my god, he's talking about this and that and that.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, we have to talk about the
